India RD Calculator (Recurring Deposit) FAQs

How is RD maturity calculated?
Indian banks compound RD interest every quarter. The usual formula is M = R × [(1 + i)<sup>n</sup> − 1] ÷ [1 − (1 + i)<sup>−1/3</sup>], where R is the monthly deposit, i is the rate for one quarter (yearly rate ÷ 4) and n is the number of quarters.
What happens if I miss a monthly deposit?
Most banks charge a small penalty for each late deposit, and if you miss too many the account can be closed early. This calculator assumes every deposit is made on time.
What does the yearly increase do?
A normal RD has a fixed monthly amount. If you set a yearly increase, the calculator raises the monthly deposit by that percentage at the start of each year, which shows what you would have if you stepped up your savings along with your salary. Many banks do not allow changing an RD, so you can also open a new RD every year.
Is RD better than an FD?
Neither is better in general. An FD suits a lump sum you already have. An RD suits people who save from their salary every month. The rates are usually similar, so choose by how you earn and save.
